Job overview 

We are looking to appoint our next second in charge of English. The new postholder will work with the Head of Faculty and other postholders to plan and deliver an ambitious, deliberately chosen and carefully sequenced English curriculum. They will be able to articulate how they will strike a balance between teachers having autonomy, and ensuring that best practice is shared across the faculty, with every student receiving the same high quality of provision. Building on your experience of leadership to date, you will be able to manage and train staff to implement the curriculum consistently for all students. You will also be able to demonstrate how, in your practice to date, you have used strategies to support students who are disadvantaged, and made impact on their progress and attainment.

There is a strong emphasis on creativity and participation in a wide range of arts activities and events. Governors and staff are nonetheless committed to a curriculum with breadth and balance.
